Draconator Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 I was told about this in a community forum in my neighborhood. I've had this for about a week, and so far, so good. I get local TV stations from every major city in the US. (Including Buffalo). ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX. I get national and regional sports channels. Meaning I can watch an A's game on NBC Sports Bay Area at no additional cost. I get all the premium movie channels. I get NHL Center Ice and MLB Extra Innings. I get PPV. I get CTV and CBC out of Toronto, along with 5 TSN stations. I pay $47 a month for everything. The only con is no recording/DVR, and if you miss a play, no option to go back 15 seconds or so. Anyone else heard of this and/or have it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T&C Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 I don't see how its any different than a superbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhg Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Couple of my good friends have it and absolutely love it. If you're a sports junkie you'll love it. I really like it too, but it's not convenient for the wife. She just wants to flip on the TV and not have to do much navigation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy the box, a one time fee... and you are set for years and years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virus protection not showing a issue? They have a free trial, I think it's 3 days. I paid for my VIP subscription after using it for 10 minutes. The only virus thing I've found is their SSL Certificate is expired, but I never have given an expired SSL certificate as a threat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) What if it gets legal... Like the Locast court decision... Can they shut it off. Is it more legally sound? Say you spend $300 on a SuperBox... Is there a guarantee it stays on? One reviewer complained on Amazon.com that it worked, then after 3 days... Shut off, error... Called SuperBox and was told they didn't buy from authorized seller! How are they legally doing this, especially after the Locast decision. Or, is that different? Same with EyeStream...

Draconator Posted May 5, 2022 Author Share Posted May 5, 2022 I did watch the video. It's worth considering but with work I'm on their VPN during work hours. I'm not sure dual VPN's would work. Just not sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue with those boxes is if/when that company goes out of business (again) or the iptv service gets shut down you’ll have to buy a new box. You usually seem to at least get a couple years out of them from the people I know who have tried them. IMO if you want to use IPTV just buy a fire stick for $30 and install it yourself. It’s super easy to do. Then when it inevitably gets shut down you can just install a new iptv service. It’s much cheaper this way too. $300+ for those boxes is a rip off, especially considering the crappy specs of the boxes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need a Superbox personally although I know one guy who has had his 5 years going and has had no problems (almost the same one in the video above). I watch everything I want off of the internet... Bills games, Sabres games, ppv (rarely though, boxing has gone Way downhill but it was pretty cool to watch Frank Gore fight), any game from any sport home/or away feed. Pretty much the same content I'd get with a Superbox or a firestick. The firestick made me curious though, and I found this article... very in depth on them, and it was published just a few days ago. Could be a lot cheaper for the OP, idk. https://www.firesticktricks.com/best-iptv-service.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
